do you have to notch the sleeves to run eagle h beam rods in a sohc? searched but with no luck... pics would be helpful thanks....

 

You notch the block, not the sleeves..

 

well its the very bottom of the sleeves but mostly the block

 

http://www.theoldone.com look under d-series builds in the articles section it gives pics and details on nothcing the block

 

do u have to do that with all aftermarket rods or just the eagle's? thanks for the info

 

pretty much an h-beam style rod, some of the i-beams such as crowers dont need notching

 

are there any other companies that make an i beam rod besides crower?

 

well in my bros motor we just got built its a d16y8 we used Eagle H beams had to notch the block and notch the cradle if you didnt notch the cradle the bolts on the rods would hit when it came down.

well there is pauter and carrillo but those cost 3 times as much as eagles, notching the block is very easy and can be done in a 1/2 hour
